The gang warfare in downtown Port-au-Prince continues to claim victims. The reality at HUEH is not different from that reported by healthcare personnel in other hospitals.
As always, the profile of the victims remains the same: those on the outskirts of areas where gangs unleash violence.
Over 80% of the patients interviewed in the emergency ward at HUEH are victims of stray bullets, stating that they had not heard gunshots before losing consciousness for some, or noticing bloodstains on their clothes for others.
